Yup sad stereotype, only EP holders are not required to undergo medical check up for renewal. Every S Pass holder I know had to do medical check-up too. They just want to make sure you didn't contract HIV and TB throughout your 2-year stint here. :-| Oh I see. So that means that they unofficially a...

Hi, all. I thought they do this only for the initial application. Today my HR gave me this together with the in-principle approval letter and told me that I also need to go for this medical checkup again. I asked a colleague who got his EP renewed last year and he said that he didn't have to go for ...

Yes, we know that and we appreciate it. But we can't just go without congratulations can we?

I promised to revisit this thread to provide an update on how long my application took to be processed. I received an in-principle approval letter yesterday morning. So it was about 3.5 months from the time I submitted my application (16 July). Congratulations! Few people around seem to be deservin...

Most people have agreements with their employers indicating that they can not work another job in the same industry. Your employers know about your other jobs? Just wanted to make sure you are not getting into a legal mess. Of course they know. And even if they didn't know, what industry are you ta...

Good morning everyone. I just applied for PR and this is what happened. It was pretty fast. I went there, I took queue number and in no more than 2 minutes I was at the counter already. The lady officer was extremely formal, no shit, and I understand why people are so worried and anxious before goin...

In my company from 4 angmohs, 2 of us are on S pass.

Hi everyone Like many others on here, looking for some advice on my chances of PR approval/what I can do to maximise my chances. Be gentle :) Nationality: Australian Ethnicity: Chinese Age: 29 Employer: SingTel Salary: >$12k per month Education: Double degree Relationship status: Single Children: N...

Mate, buy a two-way ticket. You can always open the return date so you will just use it one day when you decide to go back home. This is what I've been doing since the very beginning. My tickets always start from Europe, not Singapore.

Yes very subtle. But since one of the mods has called me an arse (twice), a jerk, pathetic, immature, inconsiderate (twice) and said he hopes my visa is rejected you should probably look a bit closer to home for the troll. I made a mistake then acknowledged it and apologized - his reaction seems a ...

Thanks to all of you for the feedback and advices. I will think about it.

Dude, you don't really mean it, do you? These are even not my words, but my singaporean colleagues'.

...and that's the reason why PR appointment slots are all full. We have desperate applicants AND applicants who are not serious. So why take up a slot for fun when someone else who could be a more deserving applicant needs it more than you do? Well, I wouldn't mind getting PR. It's just that I am d...

Yes. Now you know how desperate PR applicants are these days. Appointment slots fully booked for the next few months. If you think that it is too long, you can gamble by checking everyday for someone who cancels the earlier slot. And then you grab it. Oh I see... So this is the case... Well, I don'...

I decided to take a look at this and noticed that the first available date for appointment for PR is 1.11. Is this normal or it's my browser's bug? Has it always been like this? This is in more than 4 months time!
